STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO. 1
Project: ST. THOMAS AQUINAS (CUP) - (03- 00500101)
THIS IS A STOP REVIEW: Items that need to be addressed may affect the layout
of the site. The following comments do not constitute a full site plan review.
Without the landscape /streetscape plan the site plan review is incomplete.
PLANNING
1. The subject property must have a filed plat prior to getting a stamped approved site
plan. Currently the property is not platted.
2. Please list the hours of operation along with the uses.
3. Please provide a key map.
4. Please provide address and phone number of the church in the title block.
5. Please show zoning and ownership of all abutting parcels.
6. The southwest corner of the subject property is not shown on the site plan. Please
show all property boundaries.
7. Please provide square footages for all existing and proposed structures. Depending
on square footages for the proposed buildings a Fire Department Connection may
be required.
8. There is a portion of the phase one facility that is located between an existing
building and the proposed gymnasium that does not have adequate fire coverage.
You may need an additional fire hydrant.
9. The parking legend and site plan, do not correspond. Please adjust accordingly:
Existing Parking = 181, Proposed parking Spaces for Phase I = 258, Future Phase
Parking = 110. Total provided = 549. (It may be a little clearer if an existing site plan
was provided on a separate sheet) The site plan that was submitted does not match
what is currently existing now on a portion of the parking lot.
10. Please dimension parking spaces (one on each row is sufficient).
11. All interior - parking spaces must be 9x20.
12. Please show curb and pavement detail.
13. Please be aware that a minimum 12x12 pad is required for the dumpster, with a
minimum opening of 12 -ft. for front loading access.
LANDSCAPE /STREETSCAPE
14. Please submit landscape /streetscape plan. Please provide a landscape /streetscape
legend providing the following information: total site area per phase, points required,
points provided, species, caliper and symbols for different types of species. Please
be aware that for the streetscape requirement for Highway 6 frontage is one canopy
tree for every 25 -ft. of frontage minus drive way and site distance triangles (20 -ft.)
and for North Forest Parkway one canopy tree for every 32 -ft. An additional 300
points is required for every 50 -ft. of frontage on a major arterial, this is in addition to
the total landscape requirement. As previously mentioned the entire frontage needs
to be provided on the site /landscape plan.
15. Please be aware that an irrigation plan must be approved and installed prior to C.O.
Please provide this note on the landscape plan.

ENGINEERING
1. The proposed driveway on the frontage road will require a TxDOT Permit. It is our
experienced opinion that TxDOT will require any widening of the existing entrance to
be toward the south, not toward the north as proposed.
2. The proposed fire line will need to be located in a public utility easement.
3. Show all utilities and easements as existing or proposed, and indicate utility sizes.
4. Show the meter locations as existing and proposed.
5. Provide water and sewer demands.
6. The public water /fire line will need to be extended to N. Forest Drive or a public
utility easement dedicated along N. Forest Drive.
7. Public sewer service will need to be extended to Lot 2.
8. Show water and sewer services to each building.
9. A Development Permit will be required prior to any site work.
